Back To School Party Day 4 - Graphing Giveaway #7

Have you seen the Staples Commercial for Back to School? The one where the father is singing the Christmas song, "It is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?" I think it is so funny and somewhat rings true for parents. As a teacher, I loved back to school too. I think it is the start of something new. Starting off with a clean slate. I loved getting my room ready and my lessons organized. It was a great feeling to turn off the light in my classroom the night before school started. I knew I was ready and I was excited about starting a new year with new kiddos. O, what they would teach me!!!

In honor of all the PreK to Third Grade Teachers getting ready to take on the kiddos for a great year, the first giveaway for today is a TEACHER ONLY giveaway. It is for a the Teaching Heart Graphing CDROM and small pocket chart. Retail for over $20.00 total. Read more about this CDROM by clicking here!

1.) In the comments section please place a link to your school or district webpage. Include your email and tell me why you would like the Graphing CDROM for your classroom. Entry must be in on or before August 14th!!!

Once again... You must be a Prek to 3rd grade teacher to enter. Also you must have a school website or district site to enter...

I am a second grade teacher and we do lots of graphing in second grade.We start off the first day with making a bar graph to go with their birthday months. Students learn about bar graphs and each create different pictographs. I would love to get some new graphing ideas.Tina parentdopey@gmail.comparentdopey@hotmail.com

I am a kindergarten teacher at Cadillac Area Public Schools, http://www.vikingnet.org/ and am actually moving from one elementary school to another this year. 4 classrooms, 4 schools in 4 years... aren't budget cuts in early ed great. So,I'm new to kindergarten and would love having the extra help that your cd could bring to my class.mmmoffitm@yahoo.com

I would LOVE to have the graphing CD. I teach 2nd grade inclusion/resource special ed and try to incorporate graphing several times a week in my class. I have a SmartBoard so the CD would be benefical. I could demonstrate while the students worked on the handouts.

I had just been online looking at your "Back to School Party Day 4-Graphing Giveaway #7!" My 2nd graders and I would love it! I'm trying to incorporate some type of graphing activity each and every day and this would be great to use! Thank you!Sheri :o)

Here is the link to my districts' website: www.shawnee.k12.ok.us. I teach in the Early Childhood Center of our district, which houses all the pre-k and k children. Last year our enrollment of 4 and 5 year olds was over 500. I love to do graphing activities with my kindergarteners and I'm always looking for new ideas. The CD sounds like a great resource. I'd love to win it.Charme' charmemccabe@rocketmail.com

Here's my school link where I am the first grade teacher. (We're a small Christian school with one teacher/grade level.) http://www.armbrustchristian.com/Welcome.htmlI'd love this CD! I do a daily graph with my kids and always feel like I'm ready to give it up by October when the ideas run dry. I could sooooo use this inspiration to keep up the graphing!

Here is the link to my school district's website: http://amdsb.ca/ I work with children that have special needs, from autism and behavioural to developmentally delayed. All would benefit from a visual tool such as the graphing CD! My email at the school is pattcook@fc.amdsb.ca and my personal email is cradles2crayonsdaycare@gmail.com

Here is a link to the my school district:http://www.worcesterk12.com/I teacher special education first and second grade. I love including graphs for my students do as a wrap up of the week. I am always looking for new graphing ideas. I think graphs are fun and help students learn a lot about themselves and their classmates. This cd would be so helpful and put to great use in my classroom.

As a teacher in a Title 1 school, I am always looking for ideas that will help my students make connections to the concepts with their own lives. Your graphing ideas sound like just the thing to make this connection! Here is the link to my school website: http://eastside.dce.schoolinsites.com/
